Lance Stephenson active in first game with Timberwolves

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Lance Stephenson is active against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

What It Means:

Stephenson is no lock for playing time after just being signed to a 10-day contract earlier today. The opportunity is there, but owners in standard formats shouldn't rush to pick him up until seeing what his role is in Minnesota. Kris Dunn (hand) is a game-time call, so his absence could open up minutes for Stephenson.

Stephenson averaged 9.7 points, 4.8 assists and 3.0 rebounds on 27.0 minutes per game in six contests with the New Orleans Pelicans this season.
